footlongcomiskeydog Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 09:59 PM) Awful. This series is over. Horrible decision. It was LA's only chance. Definitely. And they conceded yesterday's game pitching the 20 year old. What a gift. But the Cubs will obviously take it. Why not? They'll beat Kershaw and that will be that. Lotta partying in Chicago Sat night. LA might find a way to squeak out a victory on Saturday night but there is no way that they beat the Cubs twice in a row at Wrigley. Kershaw should have started tonight and then you use him out of the bullpen for 3-4 innings in a potential game 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 09:47 PM) The Dodgers basically conceded this game by not starting Kershaw and running Ruiz out there in the cleanup spot. This is what several of us suggested earlier concerning Kershaw. You HAD to pitch Kershaw. If you lose, you lose with best and by then it'll all but be done anyway. If you win with him Dodgers are 3-2 going into Wrigley, which is obviously different than down 3-2 with Kershaw going on the road in an elimination game. Yes, even with Kershaw it may have still been the same score. I just feel it was a risk I wouldnt take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA's lack of starting rotation depth was exposed big time in this series. There is no way that Kershaw and Hill hold the Cubs scoreless in two straight games at Wrigley. The Cubs are simply the better team and it is finally starting to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it doesn't look good right now, but if you don't win with Kershaw going against Hendricks than you weren't going to win the series anyways. Get the win in Kershaw's start Saturday night and take your chances on Sunday night with Hill versus Arrieta, whom you beat around a bit in game 3.

whitesoxfan99 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Starting Maeda tonight wasn't a terrible move. They had only given up 3 runs through 7, their pitching was good enough until their defense (including Baez) imploded in the 8th. I don't get not using Jansen there though with a day off tomorrow. Use your stud to give your offense a chance to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
